RE: Dual radio APs, .11n on 2.4ghz radios or not?

Lee, My main point is that since you have written many times about Aruba's wireless offerings, I thought you would be more familiar with their features. The know that a few years ago, at least, I talked with a Meru customer who said the system preferred that all APs on a controller be

Lee, I've got a similar story to Mike's. We purchased 16 1510's back in 2007 and installed them throughout the campus. Then Cisco started releasing different versions of code for the controllers (mesh and non-mesh) which made it a pain, and then the 1510's were end-of-life, which made us

Is any one using this on a per-scope basis with an ISC DHCP server ? We're an Aruba shop an currently find our masters via dns, but are also exploring giving the master controller address via DHCP option 43. We currently have this working on a limited basis and have it defined in a particular

We use it globally for our Cisco LWAPPs, but not per scope. The ISC server is a bit ticky about using class declarations. I worried with it (not pertaining to LWAPPS) several years ago. The manner of declaring and using them is not intuitive. Could you show us relevant areas of your

Here's ours... we use option 43 and we set the 'campus' code later in the config so that we can pass different controllers based on different parts of the campus. The link in the comments will take you to the cisco doc for their LWAPs. option campus code 180 = string; option controllers

We put APs in classes by matching their vendor class. set vendor_class = option vendor-class-identifier; if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0 , 14) = Cisco AP c1130 { vendor-option-space CiscoAP; } if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0 , 14) = Cisco

Thought I'd jump in this one, sorry if I'm late to the game, I'm a Meru customer and you do not have to have all the aps on the controller broadcasting the same speeds. Broadcast speeds are set in the ESSID section (virtual Cell). I have virtual Cells on campus that have B disabled and the slow
